Some cadets were
up early this morning shooting stars. A few cadets
still have to finish their star days.
Currently, the
weather is sunny and we are 12 miles off Jamaica which is on
our port side. Our competent navigators, Cadets
Compass and Entzel, have been practicing terrestrial
navigation by taking ranges and bearings off of land and
plotting positions on the chart. After plotting their
positions on the chart, they are double checking their work
by plotting a GPS fix on the chart.
Today,
maintenance finished painting the q-deck.
